Heidi by Johanna Spyri

My friend Lauren let me borrow this great book.

 It's about a orphan girl named Heidi who lives with her Grandfather in the mountains. But then one day Heidi's Aunt Detie comes to take Heidi to live in a mansion with a very rich family away in the city. Heidi becomes friends with Clara, a girl in a wheel chair. She is happy playing and reading with Clara, but she also misses her Grandfather, the mountains, her friend Peter, and Peter's Grannie and mother. Heidi is very homesick, and starts sleepwalking and crying herself to sleep at night. The doctor realizes this, and says that Heidi must go back to Grandfather in the mountains for her health.

Heidi is overjoyed to go home. But she misses Clara too, and Clara misses Heidi. So Clara's father decides to let Clara go to the mountains to visit. The fresh air, fresh goat milk, nature, and beauty of the mountains make Clara healthier. She even learns to walk! Yes, this is a great book that you should definitely read!!!

St. Patrick's Day!

Okay, so, in my last post (Judy Moody collections box) I thought that St. Patrick's Day was in February. Actually, it's this Sunday. Sorry 'bout that!

Here is a post with lots of St. Patrick's Day fun in it:

St. Patrick's Day homemade chocolate gold:
You will need:
Chocolove (click to see what this is)
Gold foil
Green permanent marker 
Cookie sheet
Parchment paper
Instructions:
Have an adult help you melt the Chocolove in a pan on the stove. Then pour the melted chocolove onto a cookie sheet that has been covered with parchment. Make sure to only pour a little melted chocolove in one place. Pour small amounts of chocolove all over the parchment. Then place the cookie sheet in the freezer, and freeze until it's just frozen solid.   Take off one of the chocolate circles with a spatula, and wrap it in gold foil. Then use the green marker to draw a four-leaved clover on it. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be fun to unwrap and yummy to eat! =)

Leprechaun food:
Here are foods that leprechauns love! (I think. These are just guesses that seem about right.)
Pickles 
Deviled eggs
Sauerkraut
Pickled beets
Coffee ice cream
Chocolate
Maple candy
Pickled cabbage
Corned beef
Ham
Fried eggs
You can have a Leprechaun dinner party with these foods! (Or maybe a Leprechaun feast. That seems more leprechaun-like to me.) With green and gold carnival beads as party favors!

                                            HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
